The Best Job In The World

So, I was introduced to it once.  Thought it was a brilliant idea, then thought nothing of it.  I roll into work this morning, and there it is, sitting in my inbox from a co-worker.  Addressed only to me.  It made me ponder what could be.  What, you may be asking yourself, are you talking [...]

Flock Update

Sooo…I’ve been kind of against all these feed readers n whatnot just because I took so much time to set up my google homepage tabs.  I would casually browse through my tabs when the urge struck to read the associated information on each tab.  I was quite content. Well, over the last couple of days, [...]

Flock Home

I’ve recently discovered Flock. Let me tell you, the more I use it, the more I like it.  So far, it’s helped me whittle my google homepage down from 6 pages to 3(ish), kept me on top of my emails and rss feeds, and umpteen other neat-o-rific things. Some of the things I must say [...]

Geni…my Family treepot (tree depot..get it…get it)

I don’t know why this popped into my head today. Maybe it’s because I’ve uninstalled WoW at work and now my brain is searching for some other distraction, but I’ve always been interested in genealogy. I remember when I was a kid, my dad had this hard bound case that contained this old and tattered [...]

My new Zune

Well, a little earlier in the year – about a month ago – I was contacted by matchstick.ca and chatthreads.com to be one of the 300 canadians to test drive an 8gb Zune.  Naturally, I said ‘OK’ and as promised, I received the Zune to my door!  All i had to do – if I [...]

Good Job O.P.P.

I’d like to say Good Job O.P.P. guys! I’m specifically talking about the ones on the commuter line from Hamilton to Toronto (Markham). Let me ‘splain. For those of you who don’t know, we have commuter lanes going through Mississauga and up the 404. These lanes are designated for vehicles with 2 or more passengers [...]

I wish I had a Ford Focus to drive around in…

So, the buzz around the interweb is that Ford is handing out Ford Focus’s to test drive. I’m wondering why they haven’t asked me?? I don’t get it? I’m good looking, I’m young, I’m a bit of a gear ‘n gadget guy, I have a big commute in the morning, I’m good looking….ummm… It must [...]

George Carlin – Dead at 71. He will be missed.

Another Icon of our time is down for the count. The socially charged loudmouth that I’ve grown to love is dead at 71. I can’t really think of another comedian that made me laugh the way he did, and at the same time made me think and ponder what was going on around this terrible [...]

Darned good music

Finally! It’s been quite a while since I’ve been inspired to listen to a full album by one of today’s cookie cutter artists (think alexis on fire, et al), but I’ve recently acquired the latest Raconteurs album ‘Consolers of the Lonely’ and I must say – “Job well done boys!”. It’s the first album in [...]
